I purchased my copy through steam and saw in multiple forums suggestions for manually installing the VC++ Redistributable and DirectX update. None of the suggestions that I have come across have worked.

When I start the game directly running AnomalyWarzoneEarth.exe, I get this error:

"The program can't start because XINPUT9_1_0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I am running Win7 x64 w/ Geforce GT240 and Geforce 9800GTX w/ the latest drivers and directx11. I don't think I am suppose to get this error, but none of your installation packages contains this file. From what I can find, this file comes with DirectX 9 install packages. And yes I have tried reinstalling the game as well as uninstall all other versions of VC++ Redist.

Didn't Work. The web installer for DX9 won't install with DX11 already on the system. I also tried downloading and installing the DirectX 9 End User Runtimes, also didn't work. I went as far as extracting xinput9_1_0.dll file from Oct2005_xinput_x64.cab to C:\windows\system32, still didn't work. What else can I do? Are there anyone else having problems running this game on a Win7 x64 system?

I have the same system win7/64bit and it works fine. However, when I search for the file, the system shows it is placed in two different folders, and strangely, it is distributed in two versions:one is about 25KB in SysWOW64the other is about 30KB in System32

I could send you those or provide with complete directx installer that has all needed files.
